THE PLANTS

Cauliflower and cabbage plants
should be set before the middle of July
to make sure of a good crop; they will,
however, in some seasons do very well
set as late as August first. Celery
plants set in July will in general make
good celery for use in fall if the ground
is good and the weather favorable.
W hen set after the middle of the month,
however, it is apt to mature so late as
TO be only useful for winter use. 1t is
idle to set celery on poor land; It needs
strong moist land well enriched. Cauli-
flowers viii usually make good heads if
watered, even in very dry weather,
which we otter have in September and
October, just as they are making their
heads in dry season they pay well for
watering, for at such times the market
is apt to be short.

SELLING cows IN SPRING.

Cows usually sell well ut this season,
and if farmer has more than he can
keep in good feed all the summer it is
much better to dispose of one or more ii
the poorest and give extra feed and care
to the remainder. But it should always
be the poorest COW is sold. In most
places where the best of feed is plenti-
full the sale of the poorest COW will in
crease rather than diminish the pro-
fits.

COMPOSITION ON THE COW.

Here is little girls composition on
COW: A COW is an animal with four
legs on the under side. The tail is
longer than the legs but its not used to
stand on. The COW kills flies with her
tail. 4 COW has big ears that wiggle
on hinges; so does the tail. A COW is
bigger than a calf but not as big as an
elephant. She is made small so she
can go into the barn when nobody IS
looking. Some cows are black. And
some hook. A dog was hooked once.
She tossed the dog that worried the eat
that killed the rat. Black cows give
white milks so do other cows. Milk
men sell milk to buy their little girls
dresses. Which they put water in and
chalk. Cows chews cuds and each COW
finds its own chew This is all there is
about cows

KEEP UP WITH THE TINES.
1t is said that the celebrated Bake
well, who has done much to advance
the agricultural interests of England,
once advised the young farmers to
spare no pains to know what they
are doing" This may be accomplish
ed by associating with other farmers.
and learning their methods, their sue
cesses and failures. Many new ideas
can be obtained by a friendly inter
change of thought. Success in agrieul-
ture demands fair knowledge Of all
the real improvements in husbandry, OF
labor-saving machinery, the preparation
of soils, of manures and their applica-
ton; but when the knowledge is OBJ
tanned, the judicious use of it is inn
portant. Much can be obtained by
associating with other farmers, and by
observation, and much by tie read
ing and study of agricultural literature.
The farmer who hopes for success
without keeping up with the times. will
be likely to discover an important
mistake.

Heloise Earhart, died in 1882, and that
the land in dispute was acquired by her

Heloise Earhart was lunatic at the
